GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) --- IUPUI hit a season-high 14 3-pointers and Green Bay fell 93-78 at the Resch Center on Sunday afternoon in its second home game in a stretch of five. The Phoenix (7-102-2 HL) got 18 points from guard
PJ Pipes, but the visiting Jaguars (5-12, 1-3 HL) shot 48 percent (31-for-64) from the field and received 31 points from Jaylen Minnett.
GB was gunning for its third-straight League win and its first-ever win over IUPUI since they joined the Horizon League two seasons ago, but couldn't keep pace with the hot-shooting Jaguars. GB fell behind early in the game and trailed by as many as 25 points, never leading in the contest.
Amari Davis scored 10 points and
Manny Patterson added 10 of his own, while
Josh McNair had 12 points in his second game back off the injury.
The Phoenix made a late bid at a comeback, going on a 13-1 run and holding IUPUI scoreless for over 2:30. The hole was too large though, even with IUPUI not making a field goal the final 6 minutes of the game.
GB will return to the Resch Center on Saturday, Jan. 11 for a 6 p.m. tip against in-state rival Milwaukee. The game will be a Bud Light Night and will welcome back former players for its annual Alumni Night as well.
